Dr. Owen Fonorow
President of Intelisoft Multimedia, Inc. His company owns the distribution
rights to Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling’s Video on Heart Disease. He is a
Co-founder of the Vitamin C Foundation, and is the owner of OWEN R. FONOROW
NATUROPATH & ASSOCIATES, a consulting firm that combines more than fifty
years of learning and experience about vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
antioxidants and enzymes. Dr. Fonorow’s nutritional specialty and primary
interest is vitamin C, and clients include health professionals as well as
the general public. Recently, he has worked closely with nutritional
manufacturer Tower Laboratories of Las Vegas Nevada, and has designed
several of their high-vitamin C products.
Owen graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1976. He then
served as a SAC Minuteman Missile Combat Crew Commander stationed at F. E.
Warren AFB, Cheyenne, WY; he earned his Masters in Business Administration
during that period. After leaving the Air Force in 1981, Owen studied
computer programming and the programming languages at the University of
Arizona, graduating with a Master of Science degree in Computer Science.
In 1983, after reading Nobelist Linus Pauling’s book The Common Cold and the
Flu, he began taking 3 g of vitamin C daily. Soon thereafter multiple
recurring infections and illnesses were “cured” never to return. In 1986,
upon reading the updated Pauling book How to Live Longer and Feel Better,
and Dr. Robert Cathcart’s famous paper Titrating Vitamin C to Bowel
Tolerance [*] (provided by Pauling,), Owen increased his daily vitamin C
from 3,000 mg to 18,000 mg (18 g), matching Pauling’s own intake. At this
level of ascorbate, other persistent minor medical conditions cleared up,
such as hay-fever and gouty arthritis. Fascinated, he began intensive
research of vitamin C and the other nutrients.
In 2002 Owen earned his Ph.D. Nutritional Science, and in 2003, he was
awarded the degree Doctor of Naturopathy from Chatworth College. Dr. Fonorow
dissertations dealt with the relation of vitamin C to heart disease and the
inherent problems with the current health care system. Fonorow has designed
and still maintains four large web sites devoted to various aspects of
health and nutrition, including the Vitamin C Foundation’s web site. He has
written more than thirty articles and papers published in assorted
Alternative Medical journals including the Townsend Letter for Doctors and
Patients, Life Extension Foundation magazine, American Naturopathic Medical
Association Monitor, Florida ECO Report, International Council for Health
Freedom Newsletter and Media By-Pass.
Owen’s radio interviews on the cures for heart disease and cancer are
available at the Vitamin C Foundation’s web site. He is currently the Editor
for the on-line Bolen Report newsletter for alternative health. Owen teaches
Linux/Unix network computing at night school for a local technical college.
Owen is married with three children and lives in a western suburb of Chicago
Illinois.
